-Rebecca Spooner, Homeschooler, British Columbia, Canada
Colorful and fun, SuperBooks combine the best of all worlds: an opportunity for guided reading with a sequential phonics program. As a consultant to many school districts across the United States, I’ve recommended SuperBooks to teachers of beginning reading.
Carol Cummings, Ph.D. Edmonds, WA
“I’ve been a primary educator for over 20 years. I’ve seen reading instruction trends come and go. I know what works and what just looks good, I consider Superbooks, written by JoAnne Nelson, to be the Gold Standard in phonetic readers. They are well designed and engaging to young readers. They compliment any existing reading system you may be using. My kids look forward to each story, and they love making their own take-home books. Thank you for creating an invaluable tool that helps teachers teach the nuances of the English language.

(This is how she handled teaching reading during covid).
The SuperBooks program offers me a sequential phonics resource. ..Students are able to work at their own instructional level. The SuperBooks Kits move students through the program in small steps. Vocabulary and phonics are controlled which results in creating confident beginning readers. Struggling readers find themselves enjoying reading and making gains as they see their own progress. With SuperBooks, I see a smooth transition to trade books. Parents enjoy listening to their children read SuperBooks every night and see how they are progressing in reading.
Maureen Musgrove, Reading Specialist, Wisconsin
SuperBooks are the most useful of all phonics readers I have ever used in my 46 years of teaching,. They are excellent for developing reading fluency because they are so finely sequenced, and for comprehension. Kids are excited to read because they are successfully making sense of print.
